Chapters:

When we got home I went into my room or more like limped and
curled up under the covers. Love curled up against me, I broke
down into tears. My mom came in with hot chocolate and cool whip
on it. "Honey, it's okay." My mom said embracing me into a hug
and I wiped my tears softly. "This baby needs you as much as you
might need it. This baby deserves a chance at life Kels. Even if
you want to put the baby up for an adoption." My mom said "I'm
sixteen. I will be seventeen." I said "You will survive it Kels.
You have your father, your siblings, your friends, and me to
support you." My mom said and I started crying again. "I love you
Kels." He said "I love you too mom." I said.

I called out sick from work for the next day and
curled up under my covers to cry my eyes out. Aunt Colie knocked
at my door "Come in." I said "How are you feeling?" She asked
"Not so good." I said "Honey, I was in your place." Aunt Colie
said "what do you mean?" I asked "I was raped in college by my
ex-boyfriend and his group of friends. It's hard but you will
survive it." She said "Thanks Aunt Colie." I said and she smiled
at me "Your welcome. Lyndsey wants to see you." She said "Okay."
I said and Lyndsey came in. "I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have told
you not to tell anybody." I said "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have
listened to you." Lyndsey said and I hugged her.

The next day I wanted to call out for work again
but my mom refused to let me. This week my work schedule is 7-2.
"Go Kels. If I have to drag you there myself." She said "I'm
dressed mom." I said and going to my car and rolled my eyes.
After work I got home to a note "Call me Kels." From my mom I
called her "You have an appointment at three. At the behavioral
center. You need a psychiatrist." She said "Okay mom." I said and
went to meet her there. "Good luck baby girl." She said and I
shot her a death glare.

"Hello, I'm Doctor Shaw. Or as you can call me
Charlie." He said "Okay." I said "'Come sit Kelsey." He said
"Want to tell me a little about you?" He asked me "I'm Kelsey,
I'm seventeen in fourteen day, I have a kitten named Love." I
said "Why are you here?" He asked me "I am a victim of abuse.
Sexual and physical. By my first real boyfriend." I said "How
does that make you feel?" Charlie asked me "I was a cheerleader
since sixth grade. I was somewhat popular, I have plenty of
friends, two main ones Lyndsey and Jared. I had a good level of
self-esteem, I wasn't insecure about myself. But ever since he
raped me, and started abusing me I feel very insecure and my
self-esteem is now very low. I feel like I deserve it. I deserve
him when he hit me like I did something wrong." I said "Kelsey,
you can never do anything to deserve being raped or being abused
by anything. You are a beautiful young woman." Charlie said "Due
to being raped I got pregnant." I said "what are you going to
do?" Charlie asked me "Keep my baby. I can't abortion it. I'm
prolife and I don't want anybody else raising my baby." I said "I
have a job, I work at Publix. I save all of my money mostly. I
have family who will support me and friends. " I said "I feel
like I won't be a good mom. I'm young." I said "Kelsey, you can
be whatever you want. You can be a good mom if you want." Charlie
said. "I feel like I let my parents down, they don't tell me that
but I feel like I did." I said "I'm the second oldest in my
family, I have two sisters and a younger brother that look up to
me. What kind of example am I setting? Allowing a guy to abuse
me, to rape me." I said "You showed them that you are strong."
Charlie said "I'm in therapy for crying out loud." I said "To get
better." He said "I feel like such a witch towards my family.
When they're only trying to be nice." I said "Kelsey, tell them
how you feel honey. You have to let them in." Charlie said.

After my hour was up I went outside and saw my
mom reading her nook. She looked up and smiled at me. I walked up
to her and I hugged her "Thank you mom." I said and she smiled
"Your dad and I are taking you out tonight Kels." She said and I
nodded "I'm going to go home." I said and she smiled. When I got
home Lyndsey and Jarred were on my porch waiting. "Let me get
Love." I said and Summer came out "here." She said and rolled her
eyes "Troubles?" I asked "She is." Summer said and I smile at
her.

"Where were you?" Lyndsey asked me "A
psychiatrist. I have weekly sessions until I don't need it." I
said "I'm so sorry Kels." Jared said "It's okay. I shouldn't have
been so scared. I shouldn't have made Lyndsey promise." I said
"It's okay Kels. What are you going to do?" Lyndsey asked "Keep
it. I don't want to abortion it." I said "I will support you."
Lyndsey said "I will too Kels." Jared said and I smiled "When
will you be due?" Jared asked "April fourth." I said and he
nodded "That's most of the school year." Jared said "I know." I
said "I'm not going to contact Chance." I said "I wouldn't." He
said and I nodded.

It's August 14th and we are out at Wal*Mart going
school shopping. We get new backpacks, binders, notebook paper,
pens, and pencils, everything else we would need. Tomorrow my mom
would be 39 and I would be seventeen. We went to Lucky's Pizza
and Subs. I haven't been here since the incident. My first
month's appointment went great, and so did my second visit with
Charlie. "Hey Kelsey. Haven't seen you in a while." Kyle,
Chance's dad said. "Chance and I are kind of no longer together."
I said "I'm sorry to hear that." Kyle said and I nodded.

"What can I get you to drink?" He asked everybody
but me got Dr. Pepper, I ordered water. After dinner we went home
and spent time as a family playing board games. School begins on
August 18th and ends June 8th this year. Lyndsey decided I should
spend the night with her tonight and so I packed my work stuff
and walked over to her house. We went up into her room and got on
her bed, "This will be a tough year." Lyndsey said "junior year
is always the hardest." Lyndsey said "Even harder when you're
pregnant." I said and she smiled at me.

After work we met Jared at Lucky's for lunch and
to celebrate my birthday just us three. Chance was our waiter.
"Water." I said when he asked me "You're pregnant?" He asked
"Yes." I said and he nodded going back to work. We ate our pizza
and then walked out without giving him a tip. We went to the mall
just Lyndsey and I. We went to the baby store and I smiled "I
will be here a bit later." I said and she smiled. "You look like
your showing a little." She said "Probably not." I said and she
smiled at me. We went back home around four and when I went in I
saw Bryce on Skype. "I want to beat his butt." He was telling my
mom "We all do honey." She said.

"I'm home." I said "happy birthday Kels." Bryce
said "Thanks. How's things?" I asked "good kiddo. How are you?"
Bryce asked "good." I said and he smiled at me. "I'm going to go
get ready." I said and my mom nodded. "She heard me didn't she?"
Bryce asked "Probably." Summer said and I rolled my eyes at her.
I went to my room where Love was on my bed curled up. "Mommy's
baby learned how to climb!" I said and she meowed at me. "You
aren't my only baby." I said and she meowed at me again. I turned
on my radio and got in my shower to get ready for tonight. The
family/friend dinner I should say anyways. Since it's my mom's
and my birthday we do something like this yearly.
